The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A slow-burn point-and-click detective story that balances eerie mystery with wry humour as you explore sunny and lush locations.

What players say

Players compare it to Broken Sword, praising the detective story with supernatural twists and likeable characters, but they split on the art direction and writing. Many note the puzzles are challenging, the ending feels rushed, and some animations are slow.
